The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) has declared an Air Quality Advisory for Sunday June 22, for elevated levels of ozone. Pollutants are expected to be in the unhealthy range for sensitive groups. The advisory is in effect for the following Michigan Counties, Charlevoix, Antrim, Manistee, Leelanau, Emmet, Grand Traverse, and Benzie. We are in the peak of ozone season, and the current forecast shows ozone-conducive conditions for Sunday. Surface temperatures in the 90s, coupled with ample sunlight and southwest winds, create an environment favorable for ozone development along the Lake Michigan shoreline. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with respiratory diseases such as asthma. People and businesses are urged to avoid activities which lead to ozone formation. These activities include, refueling vehicles or topping off when refueling, using gasoline powered lawn equipment, and using charcoal lighter fluid. Positive activities include, driving less, telecommuting, walking or biking, delaying or combining errands and using water-based paints.
